The operation was performed in Dallas by Dr. Gregory Pearl. The surgery will obviously end his season. This has been a recurring problem for Hughes, who has now undergone two procedures for thoracic outlet syndrome. The 31-year-old should be ready for spring training. Aug 10 - 8:22 PM

Hughes will visit a few more doctors before making a decision all signs point to him needing surgery. This would be the second time he's gone under the knife for thoracic outlet syndrome. The right-hander had a lousy year, posting a 5.87 ERA across 14 outings including nine starts. Aug 3 - 8:34 PM

Twins placed RHP Phil Hughes on the 60-day disabled list with a reoccurrence of symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome.

Hughes is likely done for the season, having registered a disappointing 5.87 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over nine starts and five relief appearances. He might even need another TOS surgery. The 31-year-old right-hander is owed $13.2 million from Minnesota in 2018 and another $13.2 million in 2019. Jul 18 - 4:19 PM

Twins activated RHP Phil Hughes from the 10-day disabled list.

Hughes will be working out of the bullpen, perhaps in a long relief role, now that he has returned from a biceps injury which has kept him off the major league mound since May 22. His fastball was sitting at around 89-92 mph during his rehab assignment, a mark which is a little on the low side for the veteran. Jun 28 - 4:19 PM

Updating an earlier report, Robbie Grossman left Thursday's game against the Indians with a fractured left thumb.

Grossman injured himself in a collision with Byron Buxton in the third inning and was later replaced by Max Kepler. The injury is expected to sideline Grossman for at least three weeks. The 27-year-old has hit .243 with seven homers and 35 RBI over 317 at-bats for Minnesota this season.

Santiago also received a cortisone injection in his neck, though the hope is that he'll resume throwing in 3-5 days. It looked like the left-hander was nearing a return from a back injury but was shut down after suffering a setback during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester. Santiago hasn't won a start for the Twins since May 9.

Mejia hasn't picked up a baseball since August 8 while recovering from a brachialis strain in his left arm. The 24-year-old has gone through the usual peaks and valleys as a rookie, delivering a 4.47 ERA over 18 starts for the Twins. He should be back at some point this year.

Twins placed LHP Dietrich Enns on the 10-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain.

Enns was lined up to start Saturday against the Diamondbacks, but that obviously won't happen now. The 26-year-old left-hander has allowed four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits and one walk over four innings this season with Minnesota.

The operation was performed in Dallas by Dr. Gregory Pearl. The surgery will obviously end his season. This has been a recurring problem for Hughes, who has now undergone two procedures for thoracic outlet syndrome. The 31-year-old should be ready for spring training.

May began his throwing program earlier this month as he makes his way back from Tommy John surgery in March. If all goes well, the 27-year-old has a chance to be a major contributor for the Twins next season. It's unclear whether he'll be brought back as a starter or a reliever.
